BFA Exhibition 2026

University Art Gallery
Thu, Apr 23, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Each spring, the University Art Gallery proudly presents the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Exhibition, showcasing the work of Sonoma State University’s graduating BFA class. The 2026 BFA Exhibition will be on view April 23–May 23, 2026.

Offered by SSU’s Art Department, the BFA degree is distinguished from the BA by its rigorous, studio-intensive curriculum. The program requires an additional year of focused study, including advanced coursework in studio art, art history, and art theory. Often regarded as the degree of choice for students pursuing graduate or professional studies, the BFA fosters significant artistic development within a concentrated creative environment.

For both students and faculty, this exhibition represents a culminating achievement—an opportunity to present a carefully curated selection of each artist’s strongest work in a professional gallery setting, exhibited alongside their peers.

Opening Reception:
